The standard R5 series droid will consist of the following details.  Paint scheme will be determined by the model.
 
==Dome==
 
 
 
==Body==
 
'''1.''' '''Large Data Port''' (LDP) There is only one LDP, in the front of the droid, at the base of the dome.
 
'''2.''' '''Utility Arms''' Arms located in the upper middle of the body.
 
'''3.''' '''Front Vents'''  The vent internals are different between the top and bottom and include a "housing" known as vent surrounds.  There are two vents on a standard R2-Unit.
 
'''4.''' '''Side Vents''' These blue and metal parts are in the body, under the legs. There are two on a standard R5-Unit, one under each leg.
 
'''5.''' '''Coin Slots''' These are usually made in a 'strip' of rectangular pieces that are slotted on the face. There is one strip on the standard R5-Unit.
 
'''6.''' '''Pocket Vents''' These are similar in appearance to the side vents, except for a recessed metal pocketed at the bottom of the part. There are two per standard R5-Unit, toward the bottom of the body.
 
'''7.''' '''Coin Returns''' Named because they resemble a coin return on a vending machine. There are three on a standard R5-Unit, with the front being larger than two on the back, toward the bottom of the main body.
 
'''8.''' '''Power Couplings''' These are round ports that appear flush with the skin. There are two per standard R5-Unit, one in the front center of the body at the bottom, and one in the back center at the bottom.
 
'''9.''' '''Octagonal Ports''' These are octagonal shaped parts that appear flush with the skin, like the power couplings. There are two per standard R5-Unit, mounted toward the bottom of the body.
 
'''10.''' '''Skirt''' The skirt is located on the base of the body.
 
 
==Legs / Feet==
 
'''1.''' '''Shoulder Horseshoes''' These are called horseshoes because they resemble an upside down horseshoe.
 
'''2.''' '''Shoulder Hub''' These are aluminum (or aluminum colored) parts mounted in the round hole created by the shoulder horseshoes.
 
'''3.''' '''Booster Covers''' Large structures on the side of the leg that (in the movies) split apart to extend Artoo's rocket boosters.
 
'''4.''' '''Leg Struts''' Cylindrical lathed pipes that insert into, and run the length of, the booster cover. At the top they appear connected to a box on an angle.
 
'''5.''' '''Main Leg''' The main structural part of the leg itself is the base onto which the detail parts are attached.
 
'''6.''' '''Shoulder Hydraulics''' Metallic tube/pipe structure which mount inside the long opening in the shoulder horseshoes.
 
'''7.''' '''Shoulder Buttons''' Small metallic cylinders which mount into the two small openings on the shoulder horseshoes. These each have three holes and resemble metal bottle caps.
 
'''8.''' '''Ankle Bracelet''' Thin metal plate which caps the top of the ankle.
 
'''9.''' '''Outer Ankle Sides''' Also referred to as 'beefy ankle pieces' these refer to the curved portion of the ankle that faces away from the body.
 
'''10.''' '''Ankle Details''' Angular flat parts which are attached to the front and backs of the ankles.
 
'''11.''' '''Ankle Cylinder Wedges''' Triangular shaped wedges which connect the ankle cylinders to the ankle sides.
 
'''12.''' '''Ankle Cylinders''' Metal-colored cylindrical shaped pipes that mount to the ankle.
 
'''13.''' '''Ankle Cylinder Holders''' Crescent-shaped parts which attach to the lower portion of the ankle and cradle the ankle cylinder.
 
'''14.''' '''Under Shoulder Details''' Small structures consisting of a knurled cylindrical shape with smaller pipes attached at a 90 degree angle. Metallic in color, they attach into the recessed area on the undersides of the main leg.
 
'''15.''' '''Main Foot shell''' Trapezoidal shaped foot covering.
 
'''16.''' '''Foot Side Plate''' Plate which attaches to the foot shell sides, and usually through which the foot motors and drivetrain is accessed. These are usually part of the foot shells, and have several detail parts attached to them.
 
'''17.''' '''Half Moon Details''' Half moon shaped part which attaches to the foot side plates.
 
'''18.''' '''Foot Details''' Small raised areas which attach to the side plates.
 
'''19.''' '''Battery Boxes''' Boxes with curved top and bottom sections, which fit into the insides of the outer feet.
 
'''20.''' '''Battery Box Harnesses''' Metallic structures which attach to the upper and lower overhangs on the battery boxes, and give the appearance of latches.
 
'''21.''' '''Foot Hoses''' Braided metal hoses which connect the battery boxes to the outer foot shells.
 
'''22.''' '''Knurled Fittings''' Knurled metallic fittings into which the foot hoses insert.
